Louisiana parents Clay and Sheila Fletcher sentenced to 40 years for manslaughter of autistic daughter Lacey, found in maggot-infested couch.
Louisiana parents, Clay and Sheila Fletcher, have been sentenced to 40 years in prison, with half suspended, for the manslaughter of their autistic daughter, Lacey Fletcher. Lacey was found dead in a maggot-infested couch, weighing 96 pounds, and had not seen a doctor since 2002. The couple initially faced second-degree murder charges, which were dropped due to technicalities and later returned as manslaughter. The Fletchers opted not to contest the reduced charges, with their lawyers stating they always cared for their daughter.
